As the chairman of Amtrak, William Burke is in charge of all Pilots in the Federation. Another survivor of the election, despite having put his name forward, the new President had little choice but to re-appoint him to the Transport chair, as there was nobody else sufficient abilities to hold the position.
Being as how Pilots are crucial to the federation keeping in touch with its far flung states, it goes without saying that Burke was presented with a Facilitator, whom he subsequently married. She has also survived the illness that accompanied the change of administration, and has stayed with her husband under the new regime.
